GENEVA, April 21 (Hina) - A Croatian delegation arrived in Geneva
on Sunday to attend a conference on conventional weapons that
takes place in the Palace of Nations from April 22 to May 4.
The two-week conference involving about 40 countries would
be a sequel to the Vienna conference of September 1995 when no
agreement was reached on changing the text of a convention on
land mines, boobytraps and mines triggered by remote control.
Participants in the meeting were expected to adopt a new
text of Protocol II to resolve legal aspects of the problem by
formulating stricter definitions of mines and possibly banning
their production, use and sale.
Croatia was particularly interested in the handling of this
problem as about three million land mines had been scattered in
some parts of its territory during Serbian aggression.
